Hi Guys

I have this date format as text and would like to convert it to just numbers:

This is what I have '3ys 7ms 15ds' and I would like to try and display it as a round number say 3.70 or 3.07 whichever works

TIA

 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Or try these
To get 3.7
=LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"ys ","."),FIND("ms",A1)-3)/1
To get 3.07
=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,FIND("m",A1)-1),"ys ",".0")/1

AB
13ys 7ms 15ds3.7
23ys 7ms 15ds3.07
